I teach the Manuel de la Torre concept of swinging the club. I've attended numerous teaching conferences conducted by Manuel and find the principles to be sound, easy to learn, and provide lasting results for students. The concepts help students swing the club in balance and with less tension to improve shot making and lower scores.

It's great to be back at Meadow Park!
